Thank you to Maribel from the refuge info center for encouraging us to take the cave tour. She taught us a ton about the history of this land including way of life and current integration of life to the grounds/island. Beautiful beach and plenty of trails to explore in non-guided tours. Weather can be a factor as you are at the tip of the pacific so plan accordingly. Otherwise visit the center and enjoy the information available there.

Starts with creation of Guam culture. Great short video of how life began and how Guam came to be. You then pass thru galleries that explain early Guam life before the Spanish. How the Spanish brought religion and changed life on the island. Then came the Americans. there's an extensive section on life on Guam during WWII. This is a definite stop while visiting the island. they have Military, student and senior discounts.

This park is located right behind the Chamorro Village. It has a sidewalk which is perfect for a scenic view of the ocean. Some locals fish and relax here so it was nice to have a quick chat with them. There is a mini statue of liberty here as well.

8. Latte Stone Park
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 177 reviews
Latte stones, the limestone pillars used by the Chamarro people as foundations for their homes as far back as 500 A.D., are displayed at this park.

It is a quiet, serene Park hidden below the foot of the Governor's Official Residence in Hagatña. Latte Stones were placed here for those who do not care to visit ancient sites on the Island. Also on site are gated caves that were made by the occupying Japanese Army in WWII. Private parties were held there, however, this important site is neglected and I do not understand why. The occasional Tourists do visit the Park. A survey would be interesting to see just how Island visitors rate the Park and get their feedback. Visit the site and transport yourself back when culture, tradition, and family meant more than anything else.

I enjoyed my walk through today at Plaza de Espana. I'm so glad it's kept up and looks great. Just a few blocks away is the San Antonio bridge which is beautiful as well. Just watch your step a lot of trash is around the mermaid.
